FABRIC REQUIREMENTS
Extra-small: minimum 3 newborn sized footed sleepers
Small: minimum 4 footed sleepers and/or a blanket
Medium: minimum 5 sleepers and/or a blanket
Large: minimum 6 footed sleepers, or one blanket and 3 footed sleepers
Extra-large: minimum 6 footed sleepers, or one blanket and 3 footed sleepers
**Please send AT LEAST the minimum amount of fabric required for each keepsake. If a small amount of supplemental fabric is required we can only offer plain white flannel.

We'll use the pattern on your fabric thoughtfully, add a handmade felt nose and safety eyes, and make your bear to your specified weight and length within a 5% margin.
Our teddy bears are not the same proportions as a human baby.

All of our keepsake bears are stuffed with hypo-allergenic polyester fill, made here in Canada. Weight is added with high quality poly pellets, glass beads, and/or steel pellets, securely encased in reinforced fabric bean bags.

Beautiful Bear and Timeless Memory

Thank you Cara for your excellent work! The bear is absolutely beautiful and the exact size and weight of my daughter when she was born. Holding the bear in the years to come will be a sweet reminder of how little my baby was when we first held her.

This is the second weighted bear I purchased and I am as in love with this one as I am with the first one. I love that Cara is able to take my kids coming home outfit and incorporate it into the bear. Love. Love. Love.
